Alexis Mac Allister's winner came in the 97th minute

Carnage would be an understatement to describe the closing moments of Liverpool's victory at the City Ground, but it would not be over the top to call the win a heist - one that puts Arne Slot's side firmly in the Champions League hunt.

The fact that Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira said he was "angry with football" summed it up. Forest did not deserve to lose.

For large parts of the afternoon, the home fans chanted "In your head, Arne, Arne, Arne" to the tune of Zombie by The Cranberries as Pereira's side dominated the defending champions.

Before today, Slot had failed to beat Forest in any of his previous three attempts as Liverpool boss.
